Most importantly , Carbs , Protein and Fat are needed to start the day because our body will be in a building mode when we break the fast and eat food.

Recipe Notes

It's important to extract the juice of radish , or else it becomes soggy and can't roll paratha.

I have not cooked radish here , if you want you can just sautee for 2-3 minutes.

Step by Step directions on making of Mooli Paratha:

Wash, peel and grate radish, sprinkle 1/2 Tsp of salt over it and set aside for 15 minutes. Finally, squeeze out excess water from the grated radish as much as you can. Orelse the stuffing will be watery and wouldn’t be able to roll paratha.

Add this extracted radish juice to wheat flour,add salt,oil and knead it a smooth dough. Keep it close aside for 30 minutes.In a wok, heat oil ,add cumin seeds once it crackles .
